As far as I am aware, app connect only works with the phone plugged into the USB port.
Haven't really played much with it.

Did you add the £100 option to your build or did it just work?

No,
I just added the discover pro and LED Heads as a BE Package.
On saying that I live in Ireland so if we get different options or not I am unsure.

You get DAB on the Discover pro as far as I am aware. We do not.

Has anyone played with vcds on their B* and found any options that can be activated?

I have the 8" Discover pro in my B8. Apple carplay worked straight off with my sons iphone 6+. I have to register my car This was free and activated android auto on my android phone. Apple carplay http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p124/vectra14/Passat/2015-09-07%2016.56.06_zpstmmedk47.jpg http...

Do you think it makes any difference to anything which ever one you choose? I reckon it doesn't. Well, I haven't played around with them much for the kick of it I put it on eco a few nights ago and maybe it was in my mind but I could almost swear it felt a lot lazier. Reckon the VRS was more fun ov...

I have

I do not have individual.

I have the normal LED lights and they are awesome over my last cars. Really delighted with them. I am also thrilled with the fuel economy in this car. ( 150 BE.) Went for a 200km run the day after I bought it I kepts it just under 100kph or thereabouts and once saw 59.9mpg. I was astounded as normal...

All done. Used the full wiring setup from my Octavia vRS. Power wire across under roof lining on passengers side. Down pillar and into fuse area. Located a spare fuse socket that powered on with ignition and plugged in my piggyback fuse holder there. Got and earth point between the door pillar and t...

Did you pop off the trim down the passenger pillar to tuck the wiring in?
Was it easy to pop down the glove box?
Which fuse is it? Are they marked?
Thanks

I have wired my dash cam and it was easy enough to do, easier than by B6

where did you wire your one to?

Brand new B8,

I have the dashcam from my previous car. I wonder has anyone did an install yet?
Are the fuses behind the glovebox?
Cheers

Crimson with cream leather ? What's vectra's number so we can wind him up ? Best Irish dealer voice :hyst LOL Stop. I am eating my finger nail off :hyst Went against my better judgement and told them to prep it for me ( detail or whatever they call it ) It is looking like 3pm collection time.

Waiting on the phone call to say "Come and collect it"

Another ex vRS man here who is currently driving a B8 A4 and B7 Passat. Have started to look at around at replacements for one of them. Choice is a new hi-spec Passat or B9 A4 being launched towards end of year. Any chance I could get a look at your new Passat sometime Eugene? I could personally de...

Is it a cover in place of where a tweeter would be placed with the upgraded speaker system?

What made you change? At the time i was going to get another one but there was a transition between the old and new model and would have to wait nearly a year for the new vRS to come out. Well, I had 2 hatches. White first then a Red one. Red one got badly damaged by another car so had to go for th...

Thought that.
I am another pilgrim from the Skoda camp.

Hahah

Can't drive a hotpoint to get it dirty though

So many better colours than blank canvas white . Tar spots and looks horrendously dirty in the winter months . Had a white Octavia vRS a couple of years ago and to be fair once I had it properly sealed up the tar spots were a rare site and it was by far one of the easiest cars to clean I ever owned...

I would wait.
No was would I accept a damaged one,
Maybe go against your plans and ask the dealer if there another similar spec one on the system they could get for you? Push them for a different color even as it was their fault.?

The crimson is gorgeous. 2 friends have them. One problem with it is that it's a colour that needs good sunlight on it to bring it out. Problem in Ireland is we have clouds 99.9% of the time and can look a little dull in the distance. Have I the right man in saying you had a vRS octavia with decent...

very nice ^^^
